Notion is great for making a digital book of shadows for any witches who need one they can keep private/online

(p.s. this is not an ad, I just started doing this myself and I think it works really well!)

i've compiled several images i've been using for my digital book of shadows, and thought i'd share some of my favorites!

Let’s talk hexing

Hexing is different than curses and Jinx’s.

Jinx:

A jinx may cause an unfortunate event or a series of bad luck (temporary) are meant to cause discomfort or to inconvenience the target.

Hexes:

A hex may intend to effect well-being, love life or health (longer lasting than jinx’s) are meant to cause bad luck to the target.

Curses:

A curse is a strong hex intending to cause specific troubles (can be short term but usually long lasting) are meant to cause direct harm to the target.

Ingredients:

Black pepper: bad luck, punishing negative energies

Pickle juice: to bring sourness

Black salt: banishment

Thumb tacks: pain and suffering

Hot peppers: pain, irritation, burning, anger

Salt: to intensify wounds, to sting, to keep someone away

Mustard seed: strife and discord

Onion: breaking relationships/habits/etc, strife

Lemons: causing pain (think lemon juice on a cut), souring a relationship, or any good luck the target has been receiving lately.

Small pickles: male impotency

Coffee: insomnia

war water

Chili to cause pain and "sourness"

Amethyst: nightmares, illusion, paranoia

Broken glass: cutting ties, warding off negative energies, pain

Rotten tea/anything moldy: for detriment on their life

Vinegar: souring, dissolves relationships

Tea: lethargy/oversleeping

These are some things you can use I encourage you to do your own research and make sure you are protected.

Now baby witches i don’t really encourage you guys to hex or do anything baneful until you are very sure you know what your doing, your protected, you’ve done your own research, and you’ve been practicing for more than 2 months! You shouldn’t go into witchcraft thinking it’s all love and peace because it dose have that aspect to it but there is baneful magic.

Baneful magic doesn’t make you a shitty person. There are lots of reasons why people hex. You aren’t a bad person for doing it. Also not everyone believes in the 3 fold law. The 3 fold law is primarily practiced by modern wiccans and not everyone believes in it.

Happy hexing babes!

Things to add to your baneful workings that really give them a nice kick ✨

Rusty nails

Anything insanely spicy

Dead bugs

Bodily fluids (specifically ones that aren't so good-smelling)

Poisonous plants (handle with care)

Taglocks

Poppyseed (creates confusion)

Broken glass

Handle all of these things with care and make sure to wash your hands afterward as well as cleanse your space AFTER you've done a baneful working!

You do not HAVE to cleanse beforehand, in fact I don't recommend it because it gets rid of all the negative energy you would need for that baneful magick. However, if you do or did that's alright, everyone practices in different ways and I'm just writing here what has worked for me!

Found this somewhere and this reminded me of Zeus and his bond with his devotees

[raccoons-and-witchcraft]

Hellenic: Zeus

Zeus is an archaic Greek god, who is distinguished as the supervisor and monarch of Mount Olympus. He is the deity of the heavens, sky, and storms: particularly thunder. According to Hyginus: A Nymph raised Zeus to hide from his father, Cronus, who was frightened Zeus would usurp his power.

Correspondences:

Animals: Eagle and Bull. Consort: Hera; and many others. Day: Thursday. Flora: Oak. Planet: Jupiter. Symbols: Thunderbolts from Storms.

Reminder that men can be witches and are called witches. Not warlocks, not wizards, we are witches.

Quick tip for neurodivergent witches

Do you stim or have any hyperfixations?

Let me show you how you could take advantage of this and use it in your practice!

• Set intentions!

Literally, just set intentions for your stims or hyperfixations.

It's most likely something you do or think about often so it requires little energy and to set an intention you basically just need your mind.

It could be about anything you want!

Examples:

➜ "Every time I think about a character from Good Omens, it attracts positivity."

➜ "Every time I play Hades video game, it brings me luck."

➜ "Every time I flick my fingers, I flick away stanky, negative energy."

[This is something I do; I kind of flick my fingers as a stim]

Overall, you could set intentions to some low-energy things you find yourself doing a lot anyway. It requires little effort and you can get pretty creative!
